The artist has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the MVT, which operates to preserve the Britain's small music venues.
He was given the cheque on 16 October as his latest record People Watching was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also took part, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across Britain.
The money supported locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges caused by floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues obtained monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from concerts in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," Fender has stated.
He is among several artists to give his award funds to charitable organizations.
Back when the band won the award in 1996 for their record Different Class, vocalist the singer announced that the group would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her prize across a few organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I donated a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
In recent years, the band contributed their prize money to the youth organization that developed their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group gave their winnings to a MS organization after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said vocalist Small. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success touched another person's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had protected several grassroots venues in that region, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the second in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "shares" in the venues.
